Our Company

Cherokee's staff have more than 35 years of experience ranging from consulting to the nuclear power industry, performing full-scale fire testing and computer modeling for the U.S. Navy, designing fire alarm and suppression systems for numerous private and governmental agencies, analyzing fire hazards for the U.S. Department of Energy, providing third-party inspection and testing services to local municipalities to serving as the Authority Having Jurisdiction for the National Institutes of Health, the Architect of the Capitol (in DC) and the National Reconnaissance Office.
